I am the sole owner since I bought it newly manufactured in 1983. it did not have a factory installed air conditioner so when I bought it I had them add an air conditioner. over the years it failed 2 or 3 times and I had it fixed but I stopped fixing it. I assume all the old parts of that are still there. it has never been in a major wreck. the only minor wreck I remember is when someone hit my car in a parking lot when I wasn't there. there was a big dent in the panel back left from the drivers side. I think the panel was replaced.  about 5 years after I bought it the front axle melted and Nissan paid to replace it. I guess it didn't get greased although I took it in to the dealer for its post buy maintenance.  the clutch has been replaced a few times, I ride it I suppose.  I replaced the entire engine at around 79000 miles. sorry, I don't remember the exact mileage, don't have any record. point being the overall car has 193k on it but the engine doesn't.  tires have a lot of tread left on them (see pictures). the last maintenance activity I did back in 09 when I stopped using it was for the brake pads and discs to be replaced so they should be good for another 20k.  I find I prefer to try to sell it to someone who'll keep it, refurbish it, rather than just junk it. it's a trooper, it's hauled me around for over 25 years. in this state that makes it an antique, you can get an antique plate for it and drive it around in those antique car rallies (I think. as far as I know).  it has a manual transmission and it is small and maneuverable. in my opinion it's more fun to drive than a car with an automatic transmission. there are some small dings on the outside in additions to the paint being off but nothing I would call a 'dent'.  I used to smoke cigarettes but I didn't for that last 10+ years I had it.  I had a temporary contract up in Minnesota for 9 months. I used this car then and I had it proofed against snow-salt. i.e. many of the interior vacancies inside the body were squirted full of some substance to stop rust and a paint-on/spray-on treatment was given to the undercarriage to resist salt.  As far as I know it doesn't have any salt damage.  the old highway mileage for this car used to be 50-55 but that anti-salt treatment lowered that I'm sure. as did age.  I have a replacement certificate of title which applies to the car now.  I had the original title and I bet I still DO have it but I can't find it. a couple years ago I decided to sell and had to get my title reissued but wound up not selling.  I bought this vehicle with cash and there were Never any liens or debts or what-have-you on it.  I also have 1 of the original keys which i found a couple days ago...and promptly lost again. I got summoned for jury duty and I wound up shuffling a lot of objects around before I went in. that key got lost in the move-it-all activity.  if I can find that key before pickup you can have it of course. I have 2 copy keys which work.

You pay for any shipping expenses although I assume it'll be someone local who shows up to get it. The jump-start battery I used to test whether it would crank is not part of the sale. If you're local and want to drive it away, bring your own charged battery of the right type and size. Please bid only if you really will buy. Thank you.

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.

Recharge Wrap-up: Shift to offer Teslas for Hire, Model S P85D beats Ferrari in drag race

Mon, Dec 15 2014

A company called Shift plans to provide bikes and EVs for hire. Based in Las Vegas, NV, Shift will provide chauffeured ride services like Uber, but will also include a car- and bike-sharing service that delivers the desired wheels to the customer. Shift's fleet will include EVs like the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive and the Tesla Model S. Shift also promises that you will, "Be on your way within five minutes," which is a pretty tall order. Shift is scheduled to be available to members beginning this fall. Read more at The Car Connection. Nissan UK has confirmed the price of replacement batteries for the Leaf. UK drivers will be able to buy new batteries for 4,920 pounds (or about $7,738). That's considerably more than the price of $5,499 for US customers. Customers get 1,000 pounds back when they exchange their old battery. The original battery is covered under a five-year, 60,000-mile warranty, and most owners will never need to replace it. According to Nissan, only three replacement batteries have been sold out of 30,000 Leafs sold in Europe. Read more at Autocar. The Tesla Model S P85D walloped a Ferrari in an impromptu drag race video. The Ferrari driver pulls up alongside the Tesla and asks, "What you got in there?" before challenging him to a race. The Ferrari gets a head start, but the Tesla pulls out ahead quickly. The video also gets the reactions of some passengers to the car's mighty acceleration. See the video below and read the account of a drag race against a Lamborghini Aventador at Car Throttle. Australian website Drive has chosen their Cars of the Year in various categories. The Tesla Model S was a carryover winner for Luxury Car Over $80,000, but the Mercedes-Benz C200 narrowly overtook it to be crowned the overall winner. Regarding the Model S, one judge says, "This makes every other EV look at least a generation behind." The main thing that held the Tesla back from winning outright was the near-term lack of charging infrastructure. The judges did note Tesla's plans to build a network of Superchargers in Australia, but also pointed out that those plans exclude much of the country so far.

This new Renault would make a great Nissan Maxima wagon

Thu, Apr 21 2016

A new Renault station wagon wouldn't ordinarily show up on our radar. But this one gets us thinking. It's the new Talisman Estate, and we can't help but wonder if it wouldn't make a good addition to Nissan's North American lineup. If you recognize the name, you may recall that Renault launched the Talisman sedan on the other side of the pond last summer. At the time, we noticed some striking similarities to the Maxima sedan we get here, though Nissan told us the two were unrelated. But that wouldn't necessarily stop the wagon from sporting a different badge on the nose and making the transatlantic journey to American showrooms. The long-roofed version of the Talisman measures 191 inches long making it only a little longer than the BMW 3 Series Sports Wagon we get here, while riding on the same 110-inch wheelbase. But where the Bimmer offers up to 53 cubic feet of cargo space, the Renault can fit nearly 60. It also boasts electronic dampers and four-wheel steering to keep it light on its toes, and offers a selection of four-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines ranging from 110 horsepower up to 200.
